To my dear father, 

Doctor James Anderson, 

who was so fond of kindred, and loved them so well, 
who, while in life, kept in touch with them, and was so 
much interested in the Genealogical History of his 
Antecedents and their Descendants, this volume is most 
respectfully and affectionately dedicated. I have ever 
cherished the memory of my sainted father and mother 
along the checkered scenes of life, and now in old age, 
the memory of them is a solace and comfort to me.

"ALL HONOR TO ANDERSON BROTHERS." 

Though I have written up this Genealogical History, 
and have confined myself almost entirely to genealogical 
lines, I feel that I cannot close without honoring my 
father, Dr. James Anderson ; also his much beloved 
brother, Thomas Anderson, for they were so much de- 
voted to, and attached to each other ; and as I was young 
when father died, my dear, sweet and best stepmother 
any one ever had, rilled or more than filled, a mother's 
place, if possible. Yet my fatherless heart went out to 
my dear uncle and his most noble wife; yes, I loved dear 
Uncle Thomas and Aunt Anna, and their children loved 
me as a brother. I want to say right here, the two 
brothers mentioned above were grand, noble men — far 
above many of their fellowmen — and were influential 
citizens wherever they lived. Many kindred of whom I 
might make honorable mention, but I forbear, for my 
heart is too full ; and this is not a biographical history.
